I was born in Budapest. Besides being a tour guide, I am a writer, journalist, playwright, and screenwriter. For me, stories represent the world and thus human understanding within it. That's why I am in love with Budapest, where the infinitely diverse facades, the musty walls of the historic castle district, and the spaces of modern communal areas tell mysterious and adventurous stories, just like the cobblestones beneath our feet, the facades above our heads, or the hidden pubs with their regular patrons. If you join me, I will not only show you the most beautiful and important sights of the capital city but also share some of the best stories it has with you.
Spectacular tour, full of insights and historical context. Appreciated the pace and attention to detail. While longer in length than other tours, Robert leaves you with an appreciation for the people that make Budapest unique.
Hi Robert, the citytour with you was one of the best I was able to experience via GURUWALK! Perfect historical knowledge, your politically critical yet confident presentation as well as the personal stories, your humor and also engaging (and rewarding!) the audience make you somehow unique. Thank you also for many tipps and an unforgetable day!
I’ve gone on many walking tours across different European cities, and I can safely say that this is up there as one of (if not THE) best. Robert was an absolutely amazing guide. Even before the tour, he was wonderful with communication, reaching out when there was scheduled rain for the day of our tour. He braved the weather and continued the tour even though there were only 3 of us total on the tour (he has a policy that he will never cancel a tour!). We really appreciated the depth of knowledge he had (it was genuinely impressive!) and how detailed this particular tour was. As big history fans, this was the perfect tour for us! It was made even better by his clear passion for Hungarian and Budapest history. The tour was interactive, and he thought of the little things - we got to try some Hungarian snacks that we won by guessing some trivia questions, and he brought water for us to refill our bottles as well. He gave us recommendations backed by authentic experience and stories. Despite being the longest tour offered in Budapest, Robert never lost our attention and entertained the whole way through. If you do one thing in Budapest, take this tour!
Sin duda el mejor Free Walking Tour que hice!! Robert no solo nos habló en profundidad sobre la interesante historia de la ciudad y su cultura, sino que también le puso todo el entusiasmo y buena onda del mundo. 100% recomendado
Robert was an amazing guide and I’m happy to have taken the tour with him. He’s obviously passionate and knowledgeable about Hungarian history - made me want to learn more. Thank you!
